What do carpenters do?

Whether you’re planning a major renovation on your home or you simply want to make things look a bit nicer, hiring a carpenter or chippy can help you with many different tasks. Carpenters use different types of power tools and hand tools to carry on building and construction work. 

Carpentry work is generally broken down into two types: rough and finish. Rough carpentry refers to work that doesn’t have an intricate look, as it’s covered up – often by bricks, tiles, or plaster work. Finish carpentry covers the work that will be on display, so needs to have a nicer finish. Furniture, decking, and window frames all fall into this second category. 

Decking

Many Australian homes are blessed with a large backyard and plenty of sunny hours to enjoy that space. A decking specialist can add an outdoor deck or upgrade an existing one that opens up your outdoor space. This is great if you want to entertain guests or eat outside as a family during the sunny months. 

Cabinet making

Cabinet makers are one example of finish carpentry, because of the high level of detail that goes into their end products. Unlike structural work, it’s important that a cabinet looks nice, so this type of carpenter is a lot more focused on fine details. Cabinet makers often specialise in other forms of furniture making too. 

Refinishing carpentry

While structural carpentry is concerned with jobs on the large end of the scale, trim or refinishing carpentry looks at the small end. A trim carpenter is the way to go if you want someone to fix up your skirting boards, cornicing, or a similar aspect of your home.

Custom made furniture

A house isn’t a home without a few personal touches, and if you’d rather avoid the cookie-cutter Ikea approach to decorating your property, hiring a carpenter to create custom-made furniture can make you stand out. Whether you want chairs, tables, or a shoe rack, there’s someone nearby who can help. 

Joinery

Joinery services encompass the craftsmanship of creating and joining wood in workshops, distinct from on-site carpentry. These services range from bespoke projects to crafting timber buildings, emphasizing precision and passion. Joiners play a crucial role in interior woodwork, window and door production, and specialized construction, offering tailored and quality timber solutions.

Hang/Align Cabinet Doors

$120

Southbank VIC, Australia

15th Dec 2024

My cabinet doors are uneven and need to be realigned. One of the cabinet doors is stripped and needs to be rehung. I’m not sure if new hinges would be better for the cabinet with the stripped screw hole. The drawers on my entertainment center are uneven and rub against each other when opened. I’m also considering removing the doors and reattaching them upside down to match the design of the cabinets in the kitchen. Fee is negotiable.

Simon takes his work seriously and goes above and beyond to make sure his clients are satisfied. I’ll definitely be hiring him again. Thanks, Simon!

$300

North Melbourne VIC 3051, Australia

12th Dec 2024

Sliding doors in hallway have been taken off rails + painted. Doors now need to be returned onto the rails, and new guides (purchased) need to be installed into the new vinyl floor to assist with sliding. Queen bed: I've inherited an old wooden bed, slats need replacing due to warping. There's a Bowens timber yard closeby who can cut to spec, you need to have the tools to assemble a sturdy foundation eg industrial stapler for webbing. Fine to discuss, supply photos + measurements if needed so everything is ready + waiting for you. There's additional odd jobs that could be done eg: mend furniture, but would prefer to sort that out in person/after allocation of task if you have time. TO SHOW THAT YOU HAVE READ AND UNDERSTOOD THE FULL DESCRIPTION, PLEASE USE THIS WORD LAST IN YOUR REPLY IN ALL CAPS: PINEAPPLE

Great at getting things done, incredibly helpful, would happily hire again.
